Turkey Arrests 43 U.S. Deep State Bank Officials

The Ankara Public Prosecutor’s Office issued detention warrants for 43 current or former members of the prime minister’s office and several banks within its investigation into the activity of the movement, named after US-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen in the country.

ANKARA (Sputnik) — Six among the number are acting government officials, while the other 37 were laid off work. All of them were supposedly users of the ByLock messaging application, a program linked by the Turkish authorities to the [Deep State] Gulen movement, the Daily Sabah newspaper said.

The arrests, which began in the morning, were carried out according to 20 warrants that included employees for several major banks such as Bank Asya, Ilbank, and the Central Bank, according to the Prosecutor’s Office.

Earlier on Monday, the Anadolu news agency informed about the arrest of another group of alleged [Deep State] Gulen Movement supporters, which consisted of 42 people, including university professors from Turkey’s prestigious Bogazici University.

The Turkish authorities blame the [CIA Deep State] Gulen movement for last year’s unsuccessful July 15 coup attempt. Gulen himself denies any involvement in the coup.

Speaking at a Muslim conference in Chicago on Monday, the daughter of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s president, claimed that an organization operated by U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen is “actually more dangerous” than ISIS, the brutal terrorist group.

Sumeyye Erdogan Bayraktar offered those strong words, as well as a defense of her father’s authoritarian regime, during a keynote speech at the 15th annual Muslim American Society-Islamic Circle of North America (MAS-ICNA) convention.

Both of the Muslim groups are closely aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Bayraktar, who has attended Indiana University, spent the first part of her speech defending Turkey as a beacon of democracy and tolerance in the Middle East. She shot down accusations that her father’s government is clamping down on the press and marginalizing political opponents.

Hundreds of journalists have been jailed in Turkey — the most of any nation in the world — based on alleged ties to the Gulenist movement and Kurdish separatist groups. Numerous news outlets have also been shuttered because of alleged links to the groups while tens of thousands more Turkish citizens have been detained for the same reasons.

But Bayraktar defended the crackdown.

“The fact is, every person regardless of their profession has to face the full consequences of law if they have links to a terrorist organization or promote criminal terrorist propaganda,” she asserted.

“There is not one journalist in Turkey who has been imprisoned for journalistic activities nor for criticizing the president.”

Bayraktar spent the second half of her speech railing against the Gulen movement, which she referred to as FETO, the Fethullah Terrorist Organization.

“FETO is actually more dangerous than Daesh,” she said, using another name for ISIS.

“It is easier to turn some hopeless, desperate, uneducated youth into militants. They have little to lose. If someone comes and promises them paradise, they may give it a try. FETO takes possession of the minds and hearts of well-educated doctors, engineers, generals, scientists, etc.”

Erdogan blames the Gulenist movement for orchestrating a coup attempt against the Turkish government on July 15. Erdogan has claimed that its leader, Fethullah Gulen, masterminded the effort, which was carried out by members of the Turkish military and left more than 240 civilians dead.

Turkish government officials also said last week that the Ankara police officer who assassinated Russian ambassador Andrey Karlov was a Gulenist. Russian officials are investigating the assassin’s motives, and little evidence outside of that produced by Turkey’s government-controlled media has established ties to Gulen.

The Gulen issue could pose a major diplomatic problem for the incoming Trump administration. While the Obama administration has shown no indication that it wants to accede Turkey’s request to extradite Gulen, who has lived in exile in Pennsylvania since 1999, at least one Trump official, national security advisor-designate Michael Flynn, has publicly called for Gulen’s deportation.

Flynn wrote last month that the U.S. should extradite Gulen in order to improve relations with Turkey, a NATO ally and partner in the fight against ISIS.

During her speech, Bayraktar not only portrayed Gulen and his followers as terrorists, but also as bad Muslims. She told her audience that Gulen places himself above Allah. She also said that Gulenists drink alcohol in public in order to mask their Muslim faith in order to blend into American society.

She also cited controversies involving the Gulenist movement’s network of charter schools in the U.S.

“The truly frightening fact is that the Gulenists own the largest system of charter schools in the United States, with more than 150 schools. So this terrorist cult receives $500 million of your tax money every year,” Bayraktar said.

The Gulenist charter school network is increasingly controversial in the U.S., though not for any involvement in radical teachings. Instead, the schools have reportedly been investigated for improperly using H1-B visas in order to bring Turkish citizens to the U.S. to teach at the charter schools. In some cases, the teachers speak little English.

Sheikh Kifah Mustapha, a Chicago-based imam, is also scheduled to speak at the convention. Mustapha was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror case. The Holy Land Foundation was found to have funneled money to Hamas. Mustapha was also recorded praising the terror group.

Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison was slated to speak at the MAS-ICNA conclave.

But he backed out last week, likely because of the controversy it would generate while he is running for chair of the Democratic National Committee. Ellison has come under fire from Jewish groups because of his past statements criticizing Israel and because of his close ties to anti-Semitic Muslim leaders.

Prior to her speech on the MAS-ICNA main stage, Bayraktar gave a talk about the July 15 coup attempt at a smaller conference hosted by the Turkish American National Steering Committee, a U.S.-based non-profit group that advocates for the Turkish government.

Unconstitutional Powers By Repetition

Usurpations by one branch of government, of powers entrusted to a coequal branch, are not rendered constitutional by repetition.

The United States Supreme Court held unconstitutional hundreds of laws enacted by Congress over the course of five decades that included a legislative veto of executive actions in INS v. Chada, 462 U.S. 919 (1982).

Constitutional Republic Of The United States

True Federalism.

“The way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent to.

Let the national government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations; the State governments with the civil rights, law, police, and administration of what concerns the State generally; the counties with the local concerns of the counties, and each ward direct the interests within itself.

It is by dividing and subdividing these republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations, until it ends in the administration of every man’s farm by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best.

What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body.”
